"Here in Central Texas, we have so many incredible outdoor activities available right outside our doorstep. Whether I’m enjoying a morning cup of coffee on my back porch, taking a stroll around the block or playing a round of golf, I try to take time to appreciate the sights and sounds of the Texas outdoors any chance I get."
Hear Jason Boydston, the director of golf at @wolfdancergolfclub at Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort & Spa, chat about all the reasons golf makes for a great outdoor sport.

The Austin Heart and Stroke Walk is back this year on October 16!
The purpose of this walk is to celebrate heart and stroke survivors, raise lifesaving funds, and promote a culture of physical health and mental well-being. The Heart Walk's premiere event raises funds to save lives from heart disease and stokes – which are the No. 1 and No. 5 killers in the U.S.
❤️ The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes per week of moderate- intensity aerobic activity OR 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity.
🏋️ In addition to this, the Association recommends two days of moderate-to high-intensity muscle-strengthening activity weekly.
Find the link in our story to find out more about this impactful event and how to get involved. See you there, Austin!

This group of women takes having a work out partner to a whole different level! 💪
While kayaking in 2018, Tanya Walker thought to herself, "Why is it so rare that I would see somebody of color out kayaking, paddle boarding or doing much of anything on the water?" From there, BWWK+ ( @blackwomenwhokayak ) was created.
BWWK+ is dedicated to making the outdoors more accessible for all. Together they explore a wide range of outdoor adventures, breaking down one barrier at a time.

Weekends on the water are great because not only are you getting a bit of activity in but you’re also able to relax and enjoy the beauty of the natural world around you — and Austin sure is a beaut!
Have you been out paddle boarding like @getfitwith_nikk recently?
Always tag your pics with #KeepAustinFit for the chance to be featured on Instagram or in the magazine!
